These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm looking at swapping my old sc in and am thinking about a 993 or 996 Targa. Just wondering if many owners do their own maintainance and repairs and what workshop information is available? I'm not too worried on the electrical side as this is what I do for a living but there seems to be a few problems with the 996 for reliability so I'd be interested to hear any experiences of getting them fixed! Also, for the jobs that go beynd DIY, can anyone recommend an independant Porsche specialist in mid/ north Staffs? Cheers Steve

POST 2Original post

Hi, I use "Sports and Classic Ltd" (Michael Bourke). Web site = www.sportsandclassic.com , or telephone 0772 08 43736. He's based on N.Staffs, and has workshop premises in S.Cheshire (Mobberley). Neil.

POST 3Original post

Hi, I do as much as I can, the 996 especially is quite easy to work on. Benefit of the Porsche cost effective build policy, if it can be built quicker it can be taken part quicker. I am only a amateur mechanic but have so far: Retro fitted cruise control Retro fitted OBC Fitted afternarket HID headlights Replace air-con condenser and receiver/dryer Fitted new speakers (hardest job of the lot due to silly design!) Have fun and learn about your car at the same time. Having a copy of the 996 technical guide is a god send though. Cheers Mav
